Encased with striking black cladding, this beautifully built home packs a punch on an elevated site in its Christchurch subdivision. Architecturally designed by Jason Mill, this family home gains a hint of warmth and a contemporary edge from a touch of cedar. Enter to find the owner’s purpose-built pool room – a key factor in the design of the home. Detailed American oak flooring carries into the inviting open-plan hub. A gently sloping ceiling creates a fantastic sense of space, rising towards the outdoor living areas. Plenty of glass sliding doors and clerestory windows allow sun to flood into the stylish interior. Expansive kwila decking beckons for laidback brunch at the weekend or to enjoy a wine in the evenings. Positioned to capture maximum sunlight, this platform is made for entertaining. The chic interior is equally equipped for serving the crowds. The log burner is a hot topic of conversation. With three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a signature curved ensuite this home is packed with features that suit the owners’ personalities perfectly.
